Non Profit Parrot Rescue Organization

Zsa Zsa is a beautiful Catalina Macaw Hybrid in our care who came to us with behavioral issues that cause her to bite her foot. Recently she started biting so much that ointment needed to be applied to her foot to help it heal. This can be a difficult thing to do with a parrot, or any animal for that matter. In order to clean and apply medicine, Pat used attention and kisses as a reinforcer and was slowly able to acclimate Zsa Zsa into letting her foot be rubbed as you can see in the picture below.

FEBS has received an early Christmas gift from the Animal Behavior Center and Lara Joseph! Lara owns and operates the Animal Behavior Center in Sylvania, OH and works on animal training using positive reinforcement and applied behavior analysis. She has donated her $400 level 2 membership to FEBS providing enrichment and training for the parrots in our care. Lara works with many animals however her heart and soul are with parrots. Lara is the person to go to when behavioral issues occur with any animal as she trains all types including vultures, pigs, dogs, and soon…a giraffe! Thank you Lara for your generous gift and interest in supporting FEBS!

Hello there and hope you all are looking forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving. We would like to ask for help meeting our goal for our Go Fund Me Campaign. The goal of our Go Fund Me Campaign of $100k is to raise enough money to build two new large flight aviaries. The aviaries will include heating and misting systems in a state of the art design. We’ve raised over $600 so thank you to all who contributed! Every little bit counts so please take some time to help us build these aviaries and move more birds into them. We cannot do this without your support. Please click on the link below to give a gift of any denomination. Thank you all and have a great holiday!
